Juventus continue preparations for Saturday’s Serie A match against Lecce at the Allianz Stadium, with midfielder Khephren Thuram’s recent training regimen drawing attention. The French international underwent a personalized session separate from the main group due to muscle fatigue, though the issue is not considered serious.
Thuram’s Status Under Scrutiny
The 24-year-old, who joined Juventus last summer from Nice, has been a standout performer this season. While his absence from full team drills raised initial questions, medical staff confirmed the decision was precautionary. Thuram is expected to rejoin group training on Friday, putting him in contention for the Lecce fixture.
Manager Igor Tudor faces a tactical decision: whether to start Thuram or grant him rest given his recent workload. The midfielder’s energy and box-to-box presence have been vital in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 system, making him a likely starter if deemed fit.
Injury Updates: Perin and Mbangula
Goalkeeper Mattia Perin remains sidelined after missing Juventus’ previous match against Roma. Meanwhile, Belgian youth prospect Mbangula continues recovery from a thigh muscle overload. Neither player has resumed full training, leaving them unavailable for selection this weekend.
